I wasn't to clear on this. The BJ and LJ realized there was an invalid fair catch, flagged it, but didn't blow the whistle. In other words they kicked the call because they screwed up on the ruling and let the play continue. They then reported to the R they had an invalid fair catch and the astute referee realized they should have blown the whistle knowing the ball should have became dead by rule.
I don't have a specific ruling on this. I thought it would stimulate some conversation because we need to deal with an official kicking a rule and discuss how we deal with a clip that shouldn't have happened in the first place and it wouldn't have happened if the LJ & BJ had done their jobs. Glad I haven't had this situation occur in a game yet but there's always that first time.
